    Hi guys, new to the site and started building my layout. I just picked up the PRR L-1 Mikado Locomotive with PS3.0. Everything seems to work fine however, the engine will power up before I even have the remote tell it to. Never have this problem with my PS2.0 PRR Mountain steamer. I start everything as I normally do. Power up the remote DCS. Turn the power on to the TIU and then power to the tracks (z1000 brick on fixed input line to tracks from the TIU) I can cycle thru the power up/down again from the remote and everything works but what is annoying is the engine will never save my last config. So if I have it set to a certain volume or have the smoke set to OFF, after power up, it will reset to default. Also annoying to see the engine power up it's front headlight as I ad power and then about 5 secs later, the engine auto powers on (all other lights and sounds) before I tell it to. Any suggestions onto why this is happening? Again, don't have this issue with the two other proto 2.0 engines that are also on the tracks. Thanks again for any help you can provide.
